Echoes.

As one who walks upon windy night, Through unknown streets, to reach tie
 Minister door, Guides not his footsteps by the gusty light, But by the clangor that the wild bells pour; Yet oft he pauses, when in the winds roar Some louder echo calls him left or right; And much he joys when, full of angles
 bright,
 He sees the great rose window flame before. So if the wanderer in life's way attend To catch the heavenly carillon, above Its earthly echoes Nature, Art and Love; Then in his ears, as earth's sweet voices end, The bells sound clearer, and before his eyes Bright windows open in the darkening skies

A Quict Stream.

quiet stream Flowed through a level meadow.-all day long Its voice was heard in murmurous melody, That half whisper seemed, and half a song Yet no mae paused to hear its harmony, Ormarked the brightness of it's sunny gleam. But where its course Was half arrested by the rugged stone It swelled and bubbled till with new born
 power It leaped the barrier, all its weakness gone its spray ascending in silvery shower, It's onward way pursued with added force. It's beauty then The artist praised, the poet sang, un,l Came many to admire the pretty scene, Half marveling nt the strength of such N rill- \ silver ribbon parting banks of green, Swift as an arrow, deeper than their ken.
